Leading Effective Change

To stay relevant, teams and organizations must continuously change and adapt to their ever evolving internal and external environments.  This makes it imperative leaders understand and possess the skills to effectively lead change. Furthermore, it is also important that leaders know how to shape a learning culture to facilitate continuous adaptation and improvement.  Leaders who can effectively lead change gain a competitive advantage for their teams and organizations.

This 1-day program will provide the participant with the knowledge and tools to effectively plan and lead change and to shape a learning culture in their organization. Participants are encouraged to bring information (or challenge) regarding an on-going or future change effort in their teams or organizations. Participants can immediately apply the tools from this workshop to enhance change management efforts.
